[[Category:Cydalia]]
'''Cydalia''', officially the '''Commonwealth of Cydalia''' or the '''Cydalian Commonwealth''' (Cydalian: ''Commonwealth a Cydalia''), is a sovereign nation located in northeastern Merica. Gaullica is bordered by Ronto, Québec, and New Ottawa to the northwest, Newfounlan to the northeast, Federalia and Marval to the south and Erie to the west. In addition, it also borders a section of wildlands that it frequently attempts to bring civilization to. Compared to other Merican nations, Cydalia is a sizeable ## km2 (### sq mi), making it one of the largest nations in Merica, with an estimated 2519 population of 20.1 million. The country's population centres are spread across the coastlines of the nation, but vast tracks of rural and untouched land still remain, alongside ample nature preserves. It is a Semi-Constitutional Falangist Monarchy with the capital in New Hahtland,  while the country's largest city is Awlbany. The main cultural and commercial centre of the nation is widely considered to be Bostyn. The Declaration of the Commonwealth establishes the state as Catholic and absolute, with its sovereignty derived from both God and the military.
 
Pre-Collapse, what is now Cydalia was inhabited by Native American tribes before being conquered and colonized by mainly British and French settlers. It served as a religious hub for Puritanism, and while known as New England, Cydalia proved instrumental in the American Revolution. America emerged as a heavily New England-influenced nation during it's beginning, and solidified it's power all over what is now Merica through Manifest destiny. During the 1950s and onwards, Cydalia and America both experienced vast cultural shifts and changes - and re-development - and helped America form the American Empire, widely considered to be the most powerful empire on the face of the Earth. Despite this power, the cultural changes would prove to be too much for the American Empire to handle, and that, mixed with climate change, would cause a collapse in the mid 2020s and early 2030s. During the Second American Civil War, what is Cydalia widely sided with the unsuccessful Democratic Forces and Antifascist militias, which were quickly wiped out by the defecting American military, the Gilead Compact, and various far-right militias. Despite this, the ruin brought to America proved too much for it to recover in time before the Great Collapse in 2049, in which the world was thrown into chaos by the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.
 
After the events of the Great Collapse, the Kingdom of Cydalia was founded after the various towns and cities in what was the Connecticut River Valley allied one another in 2132, and elected Karl Dogood as their first King. Over the following centuries, through diplomacy and warfare, the Cydalians would expand both eastward and westward, conquering the Hudson and the rest of Massachusetts, before spreading north into what was Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and eventually the Maritimes. Additionally, they also expanded southwards into Dietsch territory, annexing most of what was Pennsylvania. In 2388 and into 2389, the Cydalians formed the Cydalian Commonwealth, officially adding the other territories of their Kingdom alongside tributaries into one grand Empire. These included the Cydalian Heartland, Hudsonia, the Dietschrei, Qadia, Scosha, and more. The capital city is the historic New Hahtland and it is home to roughly over 350,000 people, making it the third largest city in the Commonwealth. The King is currently Planter Dogood, the executive head of state. The Head of Pahlament is David Zekara, the appointed head of Pahlament. Pahlament, alongside society in general, is mainly dominated by the monarch-led Cydonian Falangist Party, or CFP.
 
Throughout its long history, Cydalia has been a leading global center of culture, reform, tradition, and more, with it making significant contributions to art, science, theology, industry, and philosophy. Cydalia is a great power with significant cultural, economic, military, and political influence. A developed country with the a high standard of living, Cydalians enjoy a good quality of life, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, and human development. Cydalia is a member of the Global Neighborhood.
 
 
 
 
==Etymology==
Cydalia, translated, roughly means "land of the cider makers."
The name 'Cydalia' derives from the old New England English term for "cider," a drink popular in what was then considered "New England" both pre and post-Collapse. During the times after the collapse, the peoples around the newly flooded Connecticut River valley turned to making apple cider, both soft and hard ciders, as a mean of making excess money for trade. Additionally, hard cider was used as alcohol, a popular commodity. Over the centuries, the evolution of New England English into more local dialects changed the preferred phonetic spelling of "cider" to "cyda." Likewise, this began to refer to the inhabitants of Cydalia, who became famous for their cider, spreading through trade and war.
 
Since its formation and the cementing of it's status, the Commonwealth is more of a title than an actual meaning. Acting more akin to an Empire in function, the term "Commonwealth" for Cydalia harkens back to the days of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, one of the most populous states in what was America and New England before the Great Collapse.
 
==History==
{{Main|History of Cydalia}}
 
===Early History and Native Americans===
literally copied from wikipedia, i'll fix this shit later
 
Cydalia was inhabited by Algonquian and Iroquoian-speaking tribes when the first colonists arrived, including the Abenaki, Penobscots, Pequots, Wampanoags, Lenape, Iroquois, Mohicans, Mi'kmaq, Mohawk, and many others. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans charted the Cydalian coasts, including Giovanni da Verrazzano, Jacques Cartier, and John Cabot (known as Giovanni Caboto before being based in then-England). They referred to the region as Norumbega, named for a fabled city that was supposed to exist there.
 
Prior to the arrival of colonists, the Western Abenakis inhabited New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as parts of Quebec and western Maine. Their principal town was Norridgewock in Maine. The Penobscots were settled along the Penobscot River in Maine. The Wampanoags occupied southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket; the Pocumtucks were in Western Massachusetts. The Narragansetts occupied most of Rhode Island, particularly around Narragansett Bay.
 
The Connecticut region was inhabited by the Mohegan and Pequot tribes prior to colonization. The Connecticut River Valley linked different tribes in cultural, linguistic, and political ways. The tribes grew maize, tobacco, kidney beans, squash, and Jerusalem artichoke. As early as 1600, French, Dutch, and English traders began to trade metal, glass, and cloth for local beaver pelts.
 
The primarily agrarian Maliseet Nation settled throughout the Saint John River and Allagash River valleys of present-day New Brunswick and Maine. The Passamaquoddy Nation inhabited the northwestern coastal regions of the present-day Bay of Fundy. The Mi'kmaq Nation is also assumed to have crossed the present-day Cabot Strait at around this time to settle on the south coast of Newfoundland but were in a minority position compared to the Beothuk Nation.
 
In 1524, Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian explorer in the service of the French crown, explored the Atlantic coast of North America between the Carolinas and Newfoundland, including New York Harbor and Narragansett Bay. On April 17, 1524 Verrazzano entered New York Bay, by way of the Strait now called the Narrows. He described "a vast coastline with a deep delta in which every kind of ship could pass" and he adds: "that it extends inland for a league and opens up to form a beautiful lake. This vast sheet of water swarmed with native boats". He landed on the tip of Manhattan and perhaps on the furthest point of Long Island.
 
In 1535, Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, became the first European to describe and map the Saint Lawrence River from the Atlantic Ocean, sailing as far upriver as the site of Montreal.
 
===European Colonialism===
On April 10, 1606, King James I of England issued two charters, one each for the Virginia Company of London (often referred to as the London Company) and the Virginia Company of Plymouth, England (often referred to as the Plymouth Company). The two companies were required to maintain a separation of 100 miles (160 km), even where the two charters overlapped. The London Company was authorized to make settlements from North Carolina to New York (31 to 41 degrees North Latitude), provided that there was no conflict with the Plymouth Company's charter. The purpose of both was to claim land for England and to establish trade.
 
The name "New England" was officially sanctioned on November 3, 1620 when the charter of the Plymouth Company was replaced by a royal charter for the Plymouth Council for New England, a joint stock company established to colonize and govern the region. In December 1620, the permanent settlement of Plymouth Colony was established by the Pilgrims, English Puritan separatists who arrived on the Mayflower. They held a feast of gratitude which became part of the American tradition of Thanksgiving. Plymouth Colony had a small population and size, and it was absorbed into Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.
 
Puritans began to immigrate from England in large numbers, and they established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 with 400 settlers. They sought to reform the Church of England by creating a new, pure church in the New World. By 1640, 20,000 had arrived, although many died soon after arrival.
 
The Puritans created a deeply religious, socially tight-knit, and politically innovative culture that still influences the United States. They fled England and attempted to create a "nation of saints" or a "City upon a Hill" in America, a community designed to be an example for all of Europe.
 
Roger Williams preached religious toleration, separation of Church and State, and a complete break from the Church of England. He was banished from Massachusetts for his theological views and led a group south to found Providence Plantations in 1636. It merged with other settlements to form the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, which became a haven for Baptists, Quakers, Jews, and others, including Anne Hutchinson who had been banished during the Antinomian Controversy.
 
On March 3, 1636, the Connecticut Colony was granted a charter and established its own government, absorbing the nearby New Haven Colony. Vermont was still unsettled, and the territories of New Hampshire and Maine were governed by Massachusetts.
 
On April 4, 1609, Henry Hudson, in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, departed Amsterdam in command of the ship Halve Maen (Half Moon). On September 3 he reached the estuary of the Hudson River. He sailed up the Hudson River to about Albany near the confluence of the Mohawk River and the Hudson. His voyage was used to establish Dutch claims to the region and to the fur trade that prospered there after a trading post was established at Albany in 1614.
 
In 1614, the Dutch under the command of Hendrick Christiaensen, built Fort Nassau (now Albany) the first Dutch settlement in North America and the first European settlement in what would become New York. It was replaced by nearby Fort Orange (New Netherland) in 1623.
 
The British conquered New Netherland in 1664; Lenient terms of surrender most likely kept local resistance to a minimum. The colony and city were both renamed New York (and "Beverwijck" was renamed Albany) after its new proprietor, James II later King of England, Ireland and Scotland, who was at the time Duke of York and Duke of Albany The population of New Netherland at the time of English takeover was 7,000–8,000.
 
The Maritimes were the second area in Canada to be settled by Europeans, after Newfoundland. There is evidence that Viking explorers discovered and settled in the Vinland region around 1000 AD, which is when the L'Anse aux Meadows settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador has been dated, and it is possible that further exploration was made into the present-day Maritimes and northeastern United States.
 
Both Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) and Giovanni da Verrazzano are reported[citation needed] to have sailed in or near Maritime waters during their voyages of discovery for England and France respectively. Several Portuguese explorers/cartographers have also documented various parts of the Maritimes, namely Diogo Homem. However, it was French explorer Jacques Cartier who made the first detailed reconnaissance of the region for a European power, and in so doing, claimed the region for the King of France. Cartier was followed by nobleman Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts who was accompanied by explorer/cartographer Samuel de Champlain in a 1604 expedition where they established the second permanent European settlement in what is now the United States and Canada, following Spain's settlement at St. Augustine. Champlain's settlement at Saint Croix Island, later moved to Port-Royal, survived where the ill-fated English settlement at Roanoke did not, and pre-dated the more successful English settlement at Jamestown by three years. Champlain went on to greater fame as the founder of New France's province of Canada which comprises much of the present-day lower St. Lawrence River valley in the province of Quebec.
 
King James II of England became concerned about the increasingly independent ways of the colonies, in particular their self-governing charters, open flouting of the Navigation Acts, and increasing military power. He decreed the Dominion of New England in 1686, an administrative union of all the New England colonies, and the Province of New York and the Province of New Jersey were added into it two years later. The union was imposed upon the colonies and removed nearly all the leaders who had been elected by the colonists themselves, and it was highly unpopular as a result. The Connecticut Colony refused to deliver their charter to dominion Governor Edmund Andros in 1687, so he sent an armed contingent to seize it. According to tradition, the colonists hid the charter inside the Charter Oak tree. King James was removed from the throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1689, and Andros was arrested and sent back to England by the colonists during the 1689 Boston revolt.

===Internet Era===
After the collapse and fall of the Soviet Empire, the United States of America was left as the world's dominant, and only standing superpower. During Bill Clinton's presidency in the mid-1990s, American political discourse focused mostly on domestic issues. While the early 1990s saw the US economy mired in recession, a recovery began starting in 1994 and began accelerating thanks to a boom created by technology. The Internet and related technologies made their first broad penetrations into the economy, prompting a Wall Street technology-driven bubble, which Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan described in 1996 as "irrational exuberance". By 1998, the economy was booming and unemployment below 5%.
 
The United States was the world's dominant military power and it's puppet Japan, sometimes seen as the largest economic rival to the U.S., was caught in a period of stagnation. China was emerging as the U.S.'s foremost trading competitor in more and more areas. Localized conflicts such as those in Haiti and the Balkans prompted President Clinton to send in U.S. troops as peacekeepers to disastrous results, reviving the Cold-War-era controversy about whether policing the rest of the world was a proper U.S. role. Meanwhile, Islamic radicals overseas, mainly in the Levant and Africa, loudly threatened assaults against the U.S. for its ongoing military presence in the Levant, and even staged the first World Trade Center attack, a truck bombing in New York's twin towers, in 1993, as well as a number of deadly attacks on U.S. interests abroad.
 
Immigration, mainly from Latin America and Asia, swelled during the 1990s, laying the groundwork for disastrous changes in the demographic makeup of the U.S. population in coming decades, such as Hispanics replacing African-Americans as the largest minority. Cydalia, however, managed to avoid most of these factors due to geographic factors. Despite tougher border scrutiny after the September 11 attacks, nearly 8 million immigrants came to the United States from 2000 to 2005—more than in any other five-year period in the nation's history. Almost half entered illegally.
 
Additionally, the United States continued to grow both domestically and abroad in influence until the 2008 recession. Despite this, on the morning of September 11, 2001, four airliners were hijacked by 19 members of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. This is generally considered to be the first major moment in the fall of the American Empire. The first hijacked airliner struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 A.M. in New York City; with a second striking the South Tower less than twenty minutes later at 9:03 A.M., resulting in the collapse of both 110 story skyscrapers, and the destruction of the World Trade Center. The third hijacked plane, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, demolishing a section of the outer southwest facing wall. After discovering that their plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was going to be used as a missile, passengers attempted to regain control of the plane which had been redirected towards Washington, D.C. However, after regaining control from the hijackers, the plane crashed near a rural community near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In total, the attacks killed 2,996 people—2,507 civilians, 343 firefighters, 72 law enforcement officers, 55 military personnel, and the 19 terrorists. The 9/11 attack was the single deadliest international terrorist incident and the most devastating foreign attack on American soil since the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It refocused American attention to a long war on terrorism, beginning with an attack on al-Qaeda and its Taliban supporters in Afghanistan.
 
After the September 11th attacks, the American Empire played directly into the hand of al-Qaeda's strategy, which was to essentially bleed the United States dry and cause civil strife and unrest at home. Over the next 30 years, the United States would continue to do this, getting involved in numerous Levantine and African conflicts. Additionally, the American Empire soon found it's massive, globalized world economy found itself under much stress due to a massive recession in 2008. The Great Recession stemmed from the collapse of the American real-estate market in relation to the global financial crisis of 2007 to 2008 and the American subprime mortgage crisis of 2007 to 2009, though policies of other nations contributed as well. According to the nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research (the official arbiter of U.S. recessions), the recession in the U.S. began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, thus extending over 19 months. The Great Recession resulted in a scarcity of valuable assets in the market economy and the collapse of the financial sector (banks) in the world economy; some banks were bailed out by the U.S. federal government.
 
Over the next decade, a mix of poor recession management alongside a continuation of foreign interventions in the Levant, Asia, and Africa began to show the wear and tear on American society. With the general populace becoming more and more distrustful of the ruling elite and the system put in place, the election of Donald Trump into the Presidency of the American Empire in 2016 was a very big upset for the system in place.
 
===Second American Civil War===
In 2028, the American political scene had devolved into two radically opposed groups: the liberal Democrat majority and the conservative Republican minority. After the loss of Donald Trump to Kamala Harris in 2020, American society saw a rapid change both in values and in demographics. While most of the original details are still considered fuzzy by most scholars, most agree that the situation was somewhat inevitable, with the 2008 recession and the political ramifications of it in the years later causing an environment perfect for civil strife.
 
The Second American Civil War started on July 4th, 2029, about a week after protesters and counter-protesters clashed in the streets of Seattle, Washington. After 12 years, various far-right groups in the United States held a second "Unite the Right" rally in Seattle's downtown on June 27th, despite a ban from the city council. Met with resistance from far-left counter-protesters and Antifa, after about an hour of street fighting, police that were called in to manage the situation were fired upon with military grade assault weaponry, resulting in the deaths of five officers. While it is unknown which side began to fire upon the Seattle Police Department first, be it far-right, far-left, or an independent actor, the resulting chaos caused a three-way battle between the far-right militias, far-left militias, and the Seattle Police Department. In the aftermath, around 200 people, including 77 civilians, died.
 
On July 4th, 2029, various factions of the United States military -- around two-thirds of it -- alongside various lone-wolves and far-right militias mobilized by social media, rose up across the nation. Most of the American Midwest, Rockies, Appalachia, and South joined the cause as well. Texas and Alaska gave unilateral declarations of support for the nationalist movement. As for the republican government in Washington, it was mainly supported by New England, the Mid-Atlantic, California and the rest of the West Coast, Florida, Hawaii, the areas surrounding the capitols, and the mayors of various cities such as Chicago and Denver both voiced their support for the Federal Government. Foreign responses depended heavily on the country, though most of the American Empire's proxies, namely those in NATO, supported the Federal Government.
 
Within days, far-right militias, believed to be from the group known as "Atomwaffen," had taken down both the eastern and western power grids of the United States.
 
The war would continue until 2036 with varying levels of intensity.
 
===The Great Climate Collapse===
With America having been essentially destroyed during the Second American Civil War, any hope at an American and Western-led environmental stoppage had been completely destroyed as Canada and the European Union devolved into isolation. With most pollution being made in China, Africa, and India, most leverage against them for climate change was also destroyed. Over the next few decades, the world would have more issues regarding climate.
 
Lack of resources, combined with social strife and a constantly worsening climate caused, in most places, a partial collapse of society. In places such as the Levant, India, and parts of Latin America and Africa -- a complete collapse.
 
Terrorist groups, both on the far left and far right, took up the mantle of environmentalism and began acting out, staging attacks on places all around the world. The most important attack was carried out by the AnPrRF (Anarcho-Primitivist Revolutionary Front) on the 15th April of 2049, in which using stolen nuclear weaponry from the United States and Pakistan, the Yellowstone National Park was bombed in such a way that caused the Yellowstone Supervolcano to erupt, causing billions of deaths and centuries of damage on a global scale. Ironically enough, an eruption of such a magnitude is widely regarded by most climate scientists to have put a pause on global climate change feedback loops, essentially saving humanity from a runaway greenhouse effect.

===Government===
According to the Cydalian Constitution, the government of Cydalia is a "semi-constitutional Monarchy" that takes "influence from the philosophies of Falangism, Integralism, Reactionary thought, Roman Catholic belief, and pre-Collapse American paleoconservatism."
 
For all intents and purposes, the King is both the head of state and government. Decisions are, to a large extent, made on the basis of consultation among the senior princes of the royal family, trusted military and political advisers, and the religious establishment. The King oversees sessions of Pahlament, and frequently intervenes in the lawmaking process when needed to. The appointed head of Pahlament, who doubles as speaker, is Colonel David Zekara.
 
Compared to most post-American states, there is little democracy in Cydalia. What little voting there is is typically on the local level, where the age old New England tradition of meetinghouses and town meetings as a form of direct or semi-direct democracy are still run to this day. District and national issues are left to district Lords, with few exceptions being left up to popular ballot. Democratic voting in Cydalia is always democratic and never representative when on ballot. Elected representatives are elected to Pahlament, however.
 
Voting in general is restricted to landed men over the age of 25, soldiers over the age of 21 who pass a test if not landed, and national labor corps members over the age of 23 if they pass the same test as well. Women are not allowed to vote, and voting only generally affects the upper house of Pahlament. The lower house of Pahlament is appointed directly by the King to serve as representatives of public opinion.
 
Most parties are banned in Cydalia. This is rarely due to political opposition from the established crown, but rather the belief that political parties cause partisanship and division within a populace.
 
The King generally rules with absolute power, and the first male heir takes over the crown on the death of the previous ruler. The current King, Planter Dogood, took after King Franklin II on 18 October 2519, and a coronation followed on October 20th of the same year.
 
===Foreign Relations and Military===
 
[[File:CydaliaArmy.jpg|thumb|right|Cydalian Armed Forces soldiers move through a raider settlement in the wildlands, 2516.]]
 
===Administrative Divisions===
Cydalia is divided up into 18 divisions, each called districts.
 
==Demographics==
According to the 2519 Cydalian census, Cydalia had a population of 20,165,201, of which 49.7% were male and 50.3% were female. Approximately 22.2% of the population were under 18 years of age; 6.5% were over 65 years of age.
 
In terms of race and ethnicity, ethnic Cydalians made up 82.1% of Cydalia's population. Black Cydalians composed 4.3% of the region's population. White minorities, namely Dietsch, Qadians, and Scoshuns made up 7.8%, 3.7%, and 2.0% of the population, respectively. Other ethnic groups, mainly immigrants, comprised less than .1% of the population.
 
Most ethnic Cydalians can trace their ancestry back to European settlers of English, Polish, Irish, Italian, French, and Portuguese origins, alongside Brazilians. Black Cydalians are descendants of Black Americans and African immigrants. Dietsch, Qadian, and Scoshuns are the descendants of Pennsylvania Dutch speaking Amish people, Acadians, and Gaelic inhabitants of Nova Scotia respectively.
===Languages===
Cydalia has four official languages. Legally, each of the four are held in equal regard, though in reality, Cydalian is the one most commonly used, spoken by almost all the population in some way, with around 87% of the population speaking Cydalian as a primary language.
 
Cydalian is, technically, a dialect of English that has been solidified into it's own language. Based on the evolution of the famous pre-Collapse "Bostonian" accent, Cydalian is notable for it's "r-dropping" and changing of -ing noises to -in noises.
 
Additional languages include Scoshun, which is the evolution of the Scots and Irish Gaelic dialects spoken in Nova Scotia.
 
The Qadian language is a Francophone language spoken in the rural areas of northern Cydalia, and along the coastline of St. Lawrence fishing villages and those on the coast of the Bay of Fundy.
 
The Dietsch language is spoken in the far south of Cydalia, mainly by the Amish. It is a Germanic language, much like Cydalian, though it is much closer to forms of lower German than forms of English, despite heavy influence from it.
